I don't now about recipes other than Google it but I made a bunch of Mac and cheese with it because we had so much pasta in our cupboard to use up. I just used it as you would on the directions to making Kraft Mac and cheese. (Boil your pasta and set aside after draining then make your sauce which consists of butter or margarine, milk and the Cheddar Cheese Powder) It came out great!!!

the instruction manual states to use vegetable oil- no more than 3Tbl spoons. I use coconut oil 1Tbl spoon and 2/3 cup popcorn. Popcorn always tastes good-no burnt popcorn :)

You might want to try Flavacol. It is supposedly butter flavored, but I can't taste it. It is yellow, so you can easily see how much is sticking to the popcorn.

We don't use it at all. I actually broke down and bought a new popcorn popper yesterday. The popcorn flies everywhere or gets jammed up and burns. You have to elevate the whole thing because there isn't room to put a bowl under it to catch the popcorn that doesn't fly out or burn. I can't decide if I should donate it so some other poor soul has to deal with it or just throw it in the trash. Its cute but isn't functional.

My husband is the one that prepares it. He does add butter to prepare it and then after its done he adds powder butter (he doesn't like it soggy), powder cheddar and chipotle for more flavor! He loves his popcorn machine :)

You can use any oil. I use vegetable oil in mine and it works great! Stores do sell popcorn oil as well, it just depends on your preference.

We don't use butter or oil inside, we just add the popcorn and about a tablespoon of water. Less unpopped kernels with a little touch of water. We add butter afterwards.

I do not have a recipe for kettle corn. I have bought and used it yesterday, Ma's Kettle Corn popcorn seasoning from www.GreatNorthernPopcorn.com. I may not have put enough on the corn to give it a great kettle corn taste but it came out pretty good. You can try it and experiment for your taste.Bob

We've used the Great Northern Packets and regular popcorn kernels; both work well and taste great! This comes down to a personal preference and people eating it. We switch back and forth between the two different ways. Sometimes we use the packets if we all prefer the same flavor of popcorn. When we want a variety of flavors of popcorn or with and without butter, following the popper's directions we use about a 1/2 ounce of oil and put in 8 ounces of regular popcorn since we have an 8 ounce kettle. Once it's done popping, everyone fills their bags or buckets and eat it plain or put butter on it using a spray butter and adding more flavor by putting on one of the seasoned salts such as white cheddar cheese or just plain popcorn salt. Everyone has now seasoned their popcorn to their liking, it's all good !!!

Susan - Instructions say can use butter in bottom well or oil. I use 2 tsps Orville Redenbacher's Buttery Flavor Popcorn Oil in the well & then add 1/4 cup popcorn. After popped, I use a small coffee cup to melt my butter & put on popcorn with sea salt. Handy little gizmo & makes just the right amount. You'll figure out what works best for you.

I'm sorry to say that I have no idea where you could get the instructions. I can give you advise on how this item works though. Measure out your own desired amounts of oil and popcorn. I have learned anything more than 2/3 of a cup of kernels over fills the unit when popped and burns the bottom popcorns. I find it best to put in the desired amount of oil (we use a full table spoon of veg. oil) first, then a 1/3 of a cup of kernels on one side of the arm and another 1/3 on the other side of the arm. It takes less than 5 minutes to finish. Take popcorn off of burner right away or it will burn. Hope this helps! I'm sorry to say that I have no idea where you could get the instructions.

Had one ages ago when I was a scout. Like most scouts, I figured out how to pop popcorn in it. (you need the handle from another kit)

You can use your own popcorn. I usually use orville redenbacker-it comes in a jar. Just a little bit of oil and about 1/3 cup of popcorn is perfect.

we use this machine with yellow coconut oil and a flavouring you can also buy at Amazon. But I have also made popcorn with just canola oil and it pops just fine, added butter and salt to taste. the pre-packaged popcorn we have never used. we use this machine regularly for fund raisers and buy the popcorn in bulk, flavouring from amazon and the coconut oil from amazon. Hope this helps you out.

I have used regular oil and regular popping corn. Just have to season it after it is through popping. Easier to use then other popcorn poppers

If its the same as ours, the popcorn & oil are packaged together, and you use one set per batch. If not, the basic "recipe" is 2 tbsp. oil and 1/2 cup popcorn. Put salt on AFTER popping, whether or not you add melted butter. For some different great tastes, use flavored oils, or put some herbs in with the oil; try seasoned salt; a little curry powder; black pepper with your salt. Great stuff.

Yes, you mix it in with the oil and popcorn while its heating up. As far as quantity, a little bit goes a long way. You use a teaspoon for every 6-8 oz of kernels.
